Thank you!! Finally someone actually did a video for the old rangers! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching! I've had several old Rangers - loved them all!
The Ranger is a great little workhorse, no doubt. That's quite a feat of towing for a 4 cylinder. Not towing related, but I've always loved that they have so much ground clearance even with the 2 wheel drive. Thanks for sharing! 😎
Great point about the ground clearance. On my 2006 Ranger (2wd also), I upgraded the tires one size to 235/75r15. After that - most people thought it was a 4x4.
As you stated, more important than towing is being able to stop safely.
Good job!
Exactly!
You wouldn’t believe some of the loads I’ve towed and hauled with a Ranger over the years. They are a great truck! Pulled a 3,500 lb round baler home from Abingdon which is 1.5 hour drive when I was 18 with my Ranger at the time. It had the 3.0 v6. You sure have a nice little truck there! Take care!
Wow - towing the round bailer would be a task for a little pickup! But another great example of how powerful and useful these little utility trucks can be. They're like ants - small but powerful and productive.
I towed a little over 4k pounds with a 02 4x4 3.0 auto Ranger with 4.10s for a little over 200 miles. It surprised me how well it did and was little over the 7500 GCWR. Of course, it was overdrive off, frame hitch and flat lands... I also definitely would not have done it without trailer brakes. I think with a few mods and uncorked exhaust it could do even better.
If you're not in a hurry you'd be surprised what these older Rangers can do, even the 3.0.
I own a Skoda Fabia (small european car) with a 1.2L engine 90hp, the legal tow rate is 2500 pounds.
You dont need a truck to tow stuff.
Greets from Germany
@@jonasstahl9826 The 2.3 L four-cylinder ranger with 143 hp. It should be able to handle a couple thousand pounds easily.
The gnu Chevy 1500 came out with a 2.7 L turbo four-cylinder! It has very impressive 410 hp and about 30 foot pounds of torque less than the eight cylinder 5.3 L! People in the US still think a four-cylinder can’t pull anything!? Even in 2022! There’s so many Americans that think you need a large eight cylinder to pull anything!!
What do you think about that?
@@zachsheffee8458 That is mostly do to different laws for towing, in Europe the Speedlimit while towing is usely 80 or 100kmh in the US they dont have different speedlimit it is usely 70mph that are 130kmh, also to be stable at this speed they drive with more tounge weight about 10- 15% in Europe usely 5%.
Cars arent allowed to tow alot of weigh in the US, mostly to do the high tounge weigh required, that regular cars cant handle.
Ontop of that they have mostly automatic transmission and lower gear reduction in there drivetrain, it is much likly that the gearbox will overheat if you try to tow with an for the US market designt car.
What a great looking/working little truck you have!
Thanks!
Just come across your videos there brilliant I live in Scotland 🏴 and have had two UK versions of the ford ranger single cab's used for work and every day use I'm going to be back to Canada in a years time and I'm looking forward to purchasing a 3rd gen ford ranger as main vehicle they're a little truck with a bigger heart hopefully you still have it 🏴👍
I'd love to have one of these. 2wd, short bed, standard cab, manual, winding windows. Can't find one for under 12k in new jersey with under 100k miles. People love these and no one wants to give one up!
Very true. I don’t plan on getting rid of mine until it won’t pass inspection or I can’t find a replacement engine at 1 million miles. :) If you do find one - grab it up quick! They don’t stay on a lot long. Here’s a video of my favorite upgrades I’ve done so far. I love the new rims! czcams.com/video/7-wB_L3u_tA/video.html
I literally just bought one. 2.3l, 5speed. 148k
$3300 in Virginia
I have almost 2 k
They were the most practical sized truck and actually got decent gas mileage. That one is beautiful. The new ones are huge, like old F150s and gas guzzlers.
Isn’t it crazy how vehicles keep getting bigger again. They were big in the 70’s and early 80s. Then they got smaller and more compact. Now everything is getting bigger again. The new “little trucks” are definitely not the same size as the little Ranger. This truck is very convenient and I’m glad I found it.
@@PurpleCollarLife The effort it takes just to hoist something big like a refrigerator or air conditioner up onto the lift gate of say a Dodge Ram. Forget getting a motorcycle into those things. The ramps would have to be long. I also like the old Toyota trucks and the Mazda b2000? which was basically a ranger.
@@curiousnomadic That's true. If I'm moving something heavy - I'd much rather lift it into the Ranger than our F350.
Thank you sir, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
a good car and, most importantly, high enough to just drive on our off-road roads
Thanks, Victor!
We had a Ranger Super Cab 4x4 with the V6, that was nice for towing the tent trailer
Thanks, Larry. They're impressive little trucks!
I sold my single cab ranger 3 years ago for a 4runner and I’m not the type to sell and buy cars over and over but I think I’m gonna get an extra cab with 2.3 again. Best truck ever.
They’re such great trucks. Did you see our video about this being the best daily driver? czcams.com/video/GjHAKaOQP6k/video.htmlsi=tSMg3Ul2wWv761zh
I had one of these trucks 2006 with a 2.3 L motor with a stick shift it’s a very good marriage and it definitely had enough power to toe something I often hall mulch with it
They're great all-around use pickup trucks. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I tow from time to time with my little Ranger. Also haul a good amount of fire wood. Her name is Ruby. She is a 1998 2.5 with a 5 speed with the 7 foot bed. She’s a handy little truck.
Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the 7-foot bed! Those are hard to find. Our Ranger is called "the little truck" because our other truck is the F350 "the big truck". It's amazing what these Rangers can do. I love the 5 speed and 4 cylinder engine. It's a great all-around truck. I have dubbed it the best daily driver ever! czcams.com/video/GjHAKaOQP6k/video.html
You’re not gonna believe this but I have a 1996 ford ranger and her name is also Ruby lol. 5 speed XLT
Here in europe it's very common to tow trailers / caravans with an ordinary car. But every trailer above ~1600lbs needs to have brakes on it. A Volkswagen Tiguan hauling a 3000lbs caravan is nothing special :-)
You did a nice video and good tips! Nice to see a manual Ranger :-) it looks very neat
Thanks for sharing!
Tdi with awd 🔥
Ford power for the win!
Thanks for watching. I certainly wouldn't tow this enclosed trailer loaded down with furniture or moving anything heavy - but the Ranger did fine towing the zero turn a short distance.
Great informative video Sir Cheers 😊🍻👍
Thanks, Dave!
@@PurpleCollarLife 😉👍🍻
It's a cute little feller.
Those old Ford Rangers are great little trucks. Thanks for watching!
Small pickups are cool, I wish I had never got rid of my 86 Toyota SR5 with the 5speed and the 22R motor
They are cool! I had a Toyota Pickup with the 22RE engine. Great engine!
I own:
2009 Ranger regular cab XL 2.3 5 speed manual, long bed with 4.10 rear axle ratio and,
2011 Ranger Supercab XLT 2.3 5 speed manual, short bed with 4.10 rear axle ratio. Summer 2022 I prepared the 2009 to go into a shop for a new clutch. I removed the smashed bed then built my own tow bar base plate on the front. I then towed it around town some with my 2011 Ranger before going into the shop. I had added sand ballast to the bed of the 2011 so it’s rear tires didn’t slide around. I double clutched it some and I also drove very carefully. Minus the bed and tailgate the 2009 was probably about 3,400 pounds. A 7’ Ranger bed minus tailgate and taillights is right on 200 pounds. From the factory the 2009 had a 3.73 open 7.5” axle and my brother helped swap in a 4.10 open 7.5” axle. I’d love to find an FX4 4.56 axle to swap in it but I have other things to buy right now.
Thanks for sharing your Ranger knowledge and experience!
Another point… when cornering you have to have enough mass in front of the hitch to keep the angular momentum of the mass behind the hitch from jackknifing.
While turning from a paved road to a gravel road… we’ll, let’s just say…. A 5000lb trailer behind a Kubota BX23S tractor will leave skid marks in the driveway and your shorts! Even at 4MPH. (Or, so I’ve been told!)
Good points, well illustrated. Nice job.
Very true!
Hello enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day, Lisa @moneypit homestead
Thank you! You too!
The Ranger has pretty good capability towing the enclosed trailer! Handy to now have the option of using the Ranger or F-350! Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
I tow two trailers with my 1993 2.3 manual ranger I don’t even fell my 1000 lbs boat. My 2500lbs cargo trailer I can fell. But still got to highway speed no ishues. Have to down shift to 4th more often
Thanks for sharing! These are great little trucks - very reliable and handy to have.
Tran and oil cooler and catch every gear at peak torq(3500 RPM). Avoid grades if over 5k. I own the 16v ranger and towed 3.2k campers. I also have 5 speed diesels and know all the differences
Thanks for watching and commenting!
💥 I wonder what a comparable 2021 Ranger will tow? My 99 truck has a dismal tow rating of just 7900 pounds. The new ones can tow up to 13,000.
*Keep on tractoring!*
Good question, Jon. I did some research and found that the 2021 Ford Ranger with the 2.3 EcoBoost I4 engine is rated for towing between 3500 and 7500 pounds, depending on how it's configured.
Just what the docta ordered.
Thanks for watching!
You can upgrade the brakes to tow 3,000 or 4,000 pounds on occasion especially with trailer brakes!
You can add a little power to the engine with small upgrades tow it easier! You can add air bags beside the rear shocks to help with leveling.
You can also keep it to 55 mph or less.
Thanks for the thoughts! I still think the Ranger is really only heavy enough and powerful enough to safely tow the recommended tow rating according to the Ford towing guide. Adding better brakes, air bags, and even engine upgrades will increase performance when towing - but not increase the mass of the vehicle itself.
@@PurpleCollarLife Then why are some of the Rangers able to tow 6000 pounds with the same frame & the same weight?
They have a 6000 pound safe towing rating & they weigh the same.
Of course you wouldn’t want to tow that all the time! 😀 Because it would wear out the components. But sometimes it’s OK.
Nice truck always liked those Ford Ranger. My 2019 Nissan Frontier King Cab 2.5 truck can tow 3800 pounds
Our Ranger is still my daily driver. It's super reliable. I put close to 20,000 miles on it this past year.
Hey that's good @@PurpleCollarLife
Nice job
Thanks, Sam! How many days until school starts back up?
@@PurpleCollarLife well last year I started school on September 4th, so it will probably be around that this year.
Not sure if u know but when you open the driver side door there should be a towing spec decal in the door jamb.
Hello - I know there is the GVWR and tire stickers inside all our Ford vehicles. I've never seen a towing spec on a sticker in the door. (Or maybe I've just never paid that close of attention). It does make sense though - since the sticker in the door is VIN specific, and would know the axle ratio, the powerplant specs, and the full configuration of the vehicle. I'll need to take a look and see - you've got me curious!
@@PurpleCollarLife Nvm, my bad. You're right, It doesn't show the towing spec. You still have to look up the gcwr, like u did.
Thanks for this. I've been hoping someone would post a good video on towing with this truck. I've got the exact same configuration, and was wondering how viable towing with this truck would be.
Glad it helped!
If your going to be towing with a 2.3 ranger your need to install a heavy duty rear end with different gears so you don't destroy clutch. Mine struggles going up hills with a 400 pound 3 wheelers in back.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. Just curious - what 3 wheelers? I grew up with a Honda 185, and rode around on family Honda ATC 110 and ATC Big Red units.
Chad, That is a super P'up - I like it a lot - have a great day - cheers
I'm really happy. Like I said in my previous video about this Ranger - this is my 3rd one. I regret selling the other two (just like I regret selling all 5 or 6 Broncos I've owned). I think I'll keep this one for a long time. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Most people say the Ford ranger with the 2.3 liter can’t pull more than about 1,500 lbs. Considering that a lot of newer cars can pull 2800 pounds. How easily does the Ford ranger 2.3 L five speed manual handle 2,000to 2500 pounds? To do you sometimes pull a 2000 to 2600 pound small car on a dolly? Like a Mazda Miata to a Mazda 3 at 55 mph?
Hi Zach - I've never pulled a car on a dolly. I have pulled the enclosed trailer you see in this video, our Jet Ski on it's trailer, and a 5x8 open trailer. I did once move our boat on it's trailer just through our yard. That is around 4000-5000#. But again - just in first gear, and just from point A to point B in our yard.
Idk how much it weighed, but i towed a 19 foot fiberglass boat with my 4 cylinder 5 speed. 0-50 in 60 seconds but it towed it.
wow!
They'll haul a 1800lb tractor and a 4ft bush hog on a 14ft 3500lb trailer fairly well. Really wouldn't want to do a emergency stop to much, but it worked for one at 45mph. Slow and steady is the ticket in a 4 cylinder ranger, even without a load. 😂
Good to know! Thanks.
Your truck tow storage trailer box but still overweight when it pull while upper the hill and or windy while on hwy interstate. your manual shift 5 turn to 4 manual shift. I have same truck as your.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Just bought one my atv fits in bed it’s a 2021 king quad 500 weighing about 6/700 pounds would u haul it ? Same exact truck.
Congratulations! These are great trucks. I wouldn't hesitate to haul the king quad in the bed of the Ranger if I were you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
So excuse the dumb question.... So the weight capacity is based on the engine? 1,500lbs (4cly) and 5,700 lbs (V6 4.0)? Not the trucks weight,size or brakes? How is it that big of a difference? So my truck a 98 with a 4.0 and says 3,500lbs towing cap. How do they figure this? Engine strength? Transmission strength? Be nice im really trying to understand fully and yes ive towed trailers before (CDL class A)
That's not a dumb question. The towing and cargo capacity is a calculation done by the engineers at the vehicle manufacturer. I'm sure it's based on many factors. I'd guess that it includes the engine's capability to safely get the load moving, the capability of the brakes to safely stop the load, the ability for the transmission to direct engine power to the axle/tires/roadway, and the capability of the suspension/frame to handle the load up and down hills, and around turns. I'm sure that a lot of calculations and thought go into these ratings. Thanks for watching!
@@PurpleCollarLife thank you that makes sense.
Totally new to all of this stuff. Could this truck tow a 6x12 trailer from Oregon to Texas?
Great question - I think the 6x12 (enclosed and loaded) would be too much trailer for the little Ranger to tow (at least with the 4 cylinder 5 speed setup). Now if it's a 6x12 open trailer, depending on what you have on it - you may be okay. I'm not sure what your truck or trailer setup are. check that towing guide to be sure. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2009 Ranger super cab 3.0 automatic and plan on towing a full dressed Harley with a karavan 5.5x9 trailer on a300 mile road trip. Have tow with OD off but I think (hope) it will be ok. Comments please! Total weight is about 2000 lbs.
A lot of people say a 2001/2003 Ford Ranger manual can’t pull more than 1,500 pounds! Is this correct? Because some 4 cylinder cars are rated to pull 2,800 lbs!! So how well can it pull 2,000 to 2,500 lbs? Is it too hard on it to pull that at 55 mph? If you wanted to pull a small car or something? That is about 2,000 to 2,600 pounds? Is that too much?
I'd refer to the towing guide and the specifics for your vehicle. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations. I would not use my Ranger to try to pull a small car.
do you think a 4.0l 4x4 5 speed manual transmission would be able to tow that trailer? gonna be towing the same trailer size as yours.
You'd need to refer to the instruction manual and the towing guide for your particular Ranger. But I believe that most of those 4.0 V6 Rangers from the 2000s show as able to tow between 2300 and 3300 lbs (depending on the setup). You can google the Ford Towing Guide for your year Ranger and find some good information online. Thanks for watching!
@@PurpleCollarLife you’re awesome man yeah it’s just like hauling a enclosed trailer and if the wind makes it super hard to haul
Can my 2001 ford ranger v6 pull a 5x10 utility trailer with 2 zero turn mower?
If you can locate the Ford Towing Guide for 2001, it will tell you the towing ratings for your truck. I believe there were two versions of the V6 back then. One is the 4.0 SOHC - which can tow the most (somewhere around 5,000 lbs depending on configuration). If you can find that towing guide, or refer to your instruction manual, it may give you more info. Not knowing exactly what truck engine/transmission you have, what the 5x10 trailer is, or what zero turn mowers you have, I can't be 100% confident, but I would think it should be able to do it. Again - check your manual/specs to be sure. Thanks for watching!
Do you tow in 5th gear on highway? I was told dont do it! ! It'll kill the transmission! And stay in 4th
Never. 4th gear maximum. But I don't tow anything on the highway with this truck (at 70 MPH). I just tow on the roads that are 55MPH or less around here.
Let me know when you're ready to sell that Ranger. You really should get a new one. ;)
I do like the searching and buying process. I've seen a nice little red one on Craigslist that looks interesting. Similar to mine, but no cap, it DOES have cruise control, but has a bit more miles on it. It'd be a great little truck for someone. :)
Gotta love the internet it’s mobile showcase there always deals or someone selling something lol ❤
It will do it but its miserable power and braking. I did it a lot…I also blew the clutch apart towing with it. Now driving a Coyote 5.0 F150
Thanks for watching! I rented an F150 once while traveling - it had the Coyote engine and I was very impressed!
@@PurpleCollarLife It tows so much better than my old 4.6L F150, not as good as my diesels, but not bad. The rear disc brakes,extra torque & brake controller make so much difference.Its saved my butt a few times when the diesel was in the shop and we had jobs to complete.We towed the 7x12 dump trailer with my little skid steer and all the tools in it and it did great for being about 10,000lbs .You just need a little patience on long hills here in Colorado.But we tow 3500-5000 with it daily and no problems. I would love to have a little Ranger again for light duty stuff and estimates.
Most people don’t even use their F1 50s and 1500s anywhere near the full capacity!!
That's true.
Any plans to tow up at least a 5% grade for at least a mile?
I recently used the Ranger (2.3 L, 5 speed) to tow a 1200 pound load up a 7% grade that is about a mile. I did have to shift down into 3rd gear and keep the RPMs high, but it maintained 55 mph just fine.
Why less towing capacity when with a manual??
That's correct. I'm not sure exactly the reason - but I know this is pretty typical that the automatic transmissions have higher tow rating capacities.
so the 4x4 manual or automatic transmission can not tow?
I'm sorry - I am not exactly sure what you're asking. The 4x4 can tow - but in this year that 4x4 option isn't available in the 4 cylinder engine. If it were 4x4, it would likely have the 4.0 SOHC engine, and have a higher tow rating.
where u get camper shell
I bought this truck used and it already had the cap on it. I do like this brand though. It's a Jeraco. www.jeraco.com/
What kind of trailer is there I’m just trying to learn trailer
Hi Bee. This trailer is a Car-Mate brand enclosed 6 foot by 12 foot trailer. We love it. I did a video with tips for buying an enclosed trailer. You can find it on our channel.
@@PurpleCollarLife thank you
Would a 1997 ranger haul 5,000 pounds?
There’s not enough detail to answer that question. I’d recommend looking at the Ford towing guide for 1997. It’s going to depend on what engine you have, what gear ratio, the configuration of your truck, etc. If you’re saying tow a trailer that weighs 5,000 lbs, that’s also different than hauling (in the bed) 5000 lbs. Again - you’d want to check the ratings for your truck configuration, but my initial guess is that 5,000 lbs is going to be a lot for the little truck, now 26 years old, to handle - even if originally it was rated to tow 5,000 lbs.
Honestly they really do base most towing capacity on power and gear ratios .... the 4.0 brakes are the same between the two rangers so stopping power remains the same
I mean in the 80s the ranger was rated at 4500 lbs with the 2.3 😂
And ford dodge chevy all slap higher tow rating with bigger motors even though they all used the same brakes axles etc ...
Honestly untill recently that was the standerd "if you got the big motor and short gears you can tow 8k lbs if you gots the v6 and shot gears you can tow 4k"
Brakes axles etc remain the same 😂
Best and i mean absolute best example is the 2500 and 3500 dodge ram from 94-02 there frames brakes etc all the same but based on gearing or transmission option towing capacity was 10-15k lbs
The 3500 dually getting lower towing higher payload capcity and the 2500 srw getting higher towing lower payload
Buuttt ill say this as ive had a few 😅 the brakes between the different capacitys is the same and the brakes only suck when your 25k gcvw but its also fine cause the highest the trucks were rated at were 21k gcvw
And to clearify im talking about cummins as thats all ive had but i also know the v10 trucks were similarly equiped
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yo estiro una traila de comida de 4000lb + aprox con mi explorer sport trac V6 4.0 manual 1500 lb mas de lo recomendado
The 4.0 is a good strong V6 engine. But I'd worry about the rest of the system failing pulling more than the recommended weight limit. For example - the brakes. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wat gear ratio?
I believe it's a 3:73.
@@PurpleCollarLife mines is 4.10 open diff pulls pretty good
This set up has a maximum of 2240 pounds.
Thanks for watching!
Can this truck tow another car ?
No, that would be too much weight.
Somebody put the wrong color Coolant in the engine.
I wondered if the Ranger should have the gold color (like our F350 takes). Sounds like you’re saying it should. Any idea if the green stuff will hurt it?
@@PurpleCollarLife Your never supposed to mix coolants.......It supposed to have Motorcraft GOLD coolant.....i have the same truck and engine.
This nerd has every spec. With the help of google. Lol but remember spec stuff things.
Thanks for watching. I'm happy to be a nerd. :)
Whats the best mpg you can get in this truck?
Great question! I don't know about the best mpg possible, but I do drive this on a 165 mile daily commute. I made a video about my MPG during my daily drive. czcams.com/video/GB-ciByMd-I/video.html
